ABOUT DREW BROPHY
LIVING THE DREAM
Step
into Drew's dream world, where the sun has an attitude and drops of
ocean spray are running from angry fish. Drew's creations come from
a surreal dimension where dragons wrap themselves around sexy mermaids
and giant waves bend into perfect tubes. Drew's art will first strike
you as colorful and cartoonish, but as you look closer you'll see
that it truly comes from a world all to it's own and it won't be long
before you see his characters come to life, each displaying their
own strong personality.
A
self-taught artist, Drew started painting his lively images on surfboards
at a young age when
he first began to surf in his native South Carolina. With his sights
set on being a professional surfer, he travelled the globe doing artwork
here and there to help pay for his travels and surf adventures. Eventually,
Drew found himself in California and now lives with his wife Maria
and their new son Dylan, close to one of his favorite surf spots in
the world.
Over
the years, Drew's unique style of painting has gained significant
recognition and his signature and art has become a brand. He
licenses his art to numerous companies to print onto their products,
including t-shirts, greeting
cards, art prints, stickers, beach
towels, boogie boards, surfboards, fabrics,
tatoos, cd covers,
skimboards, and skateboards.
Drew's
art is recognized and collected locally and internationally. Through
his travels he has been able to leave a little bit of his art around
the globe. Drew's original art peices have become in high demand,
and his commission orders are plentiful and keep him busy. His
surfboards are sold in art galleries and establishments like the Hard
Rock Casino, Las Vegas, as well as to many individuals around the
world. He holds several art shows a year in different locations.
A prolific artist, Drew completes about 100 new pieces of art a YEAR!
Drew
wants to blaze a path for other artists to reach their dreams. He
believes there is enough work for everyone. He and his business manager
and wife, Maria, often offer advice to other artists on how to do
business in the surf industry. To find out more about how Drew
creates his artwork, please visit our Frequently
Asked Questions page.
These
days, if the waves aren't good, you'll find Drew sitting on a beach,
somewhere in the world, doing what he loves: painting magical characters
and exotic places. That is, 'til the swell picks up!
